A comfortable home from home. Nestled between woods and fields with a web of great footpaths. Four pubs within walking distance and bikes should you fancy wheels. Parking easy, bus and train services on the doorstep, starry nights unmissable.

I will be in residence usually. There are multiple possibilities to staying here and therefore costs differ - size of party, number of rooms, length of stay.
My mission is to make everyone comfortable and at home.
Contact me if a family or group booking required.

Carol has a beautiful home which is in the perfect setting for tranquillity and relaxation! She was a wonderful host that went above and beyond to make my stay welcome. She welcomed my dog Lily & I, and made us feel like family! The room was very comfortable and had everything I needed supplied to me, breakfast made by Carol was also lovely! Falling asleep with the window open and hearing nothing but the odd wildlife was pure bliss!! I cannot express my gratitude to Carol enough! I will be telling my family and friends of the ONLY place to stay for when they come to visit after I have relocated! Thank you Carol, Lily & I hope to see you again soon!

We really enjoyed our stay, the great location and Carol's company and help.

Adrian2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

As our FIRST Airbnb experience, My family and I have just stayed over for two nights with Carol, in Stable cottage. We enjoyed the location very much! There are woodland walks and village pubs for eats and ciders. Countryside Surrounds the area, and expect to wake up to the sounds or the woodland ,birds and tree's leaves moving fill the air. I'm really fussy about stuffy or unclean places- But the cottage was 100% spotless and total airy by my standards. A joy to stay there. We had the Freedom to use the accomidation as our own home. And Carol had knowledge and maps available for everything we asked about. Highly recommended. Caroline Burgess, and family. (Husband,two boys and our dog)

Caroline2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

Carol is a lovely lady who really looks after you. Warm welcome, great coffee and a super breakfast :)

andre2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

Carol is such a lovely person! her cottage is located in a beautiful area,hidden in the woods.Everything in the house is lively, full of charms.Carol made us feel like home. She even made a huge portion of deliciously breakfast,feed us so well and made sure we don't have to think about food when touring Brighton! Definitely recommend her place to everyone :) Thank you Carol! See you in the future!

Yuchen2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Carol is a great host and really lovely lady, she really did make us feel relaxed in her home. Her home is a lovely cottage with loads of interesting thing inside and it's set in a beautiful location, it was so peaceful and a fantastic escape for us all. If you love the countryside you will love it here. If you like shopping and the seaside as we also do, these are only a short drive away or you can take the train from Plumpton Green station which is just down the road. We absolutely love our stay at Carol's and we will be back at the first opportunity. I would highly recommend a staying here.

Steve2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

We were not expecting to have such a genuinely welcoming host, but Carol is a warm, friendly person who has such a calm aura about her. Definitely at one with nature, her home was as described and was just the right balance of rustic and cosy. The views from her home are truly what countryside living is all about and should definitely be experienced especially during these warm summer days/nights. If you're lucky you may get the opportunity to sample some of Carol's delicious numerous homemade jams and preserves. The town is a short distance away and her directions to find her home were spot on. We are definitely planning a return visit to Plumpton, to have more conversations over breakfast and to see more of the area.

Jo2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

This beautiful house is in a stunning location near the South Downs Way. The rooms are beautiful and Carol is just fab - she is lovely and the breakfast was first rate! We were on a two-day hiking trip, and it provided the perfect overnight "pit stop". Highly recommended

A spacious and comfortable modern house in a quiet village on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Décor is fresh and modern with plenty of parking and a good sized garden including BBQ, patio and decking. Ideally located in a quiet cul de sac adjoining a private shared meadow with open pond and woods. Excellent location for local attractions in Lewes including Bonfire night, Glyndebourne Festival and Plumpton races. Local mainline station gives access to London, Gatwick and Brighton.

This is a quiet family home in a small cluster of modern houses with a shared communal meadow, pond and woods. Rooms are light and spacious with a modern kitchen/diner that provides for sociable cooking and dining (seats 6-8) and patio doors that open onto the garden. There are 2 reception rooms, both with Sky TV (so the kids can escape!) and the main lounge has a cosy open fire (fuel provided). Efficient central heating means the house is warm in winter but its also well ventilated and cool in summer.There is a downstairs loo and two bathrooms upstairs (one en-suite) . 4 bedrooms are available; two doubles and 2 singles but they also have room for extra cots and air beds. The garden is secluded, fully fenced, and child/pet friendly and great for barbecues or drinks on the patio: a rural idyll filled with birdsong. There are no street lights so you can watch the stars at night and the quiet off street location means a peaceful night's sleep is guaranteed. Please note 2 cats live here too!

The village has 3 great local pubs, a village shop/general stores and the nearby train station gives easy access to Lewes, London, Gatwick and Brighton. Plumpton racecourse is just a short walk up the road with races held September to May. The villagers are friendly and the local shop and post office stocks everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Excellent dining can be found after a 5 minute drive or half hour walk to nearby East Chiltington (The Jolly Sportsman) or Plumpton Vilage (The Half Moon). The village has a lovely park and playground for children and the local tennis club hires out its courts to visitors. Footpaths span out from all parts of the village into open farm land and there are many lovely walks to be had, especially in the bluebell season. For city thrills there is easy access to Brighton with its beaches, attractions, restaurants, cinemas and theatres.

Lovely home in a beautiful location.

Lovely country getaway, beautiful & tranquil. Ideal to get away for some walking either along the South Downs Way or through the woods and fields to great country pubs. 2 dble bedrooms + sweet caravan (either dble bed or 3 singles for lovely glamping

beautiful setting, very peaceful and tranquil. its a perfect country getaway.

lovely countryside, peaceful, able to walk from the door into the woods and fields upto the South Downs for a view over to the white cliffs of Eastbourne and to the sea at Brighton.

Set in a beautiful part of East Sussex the house, and gardens, were more than could have been wished for. My family, with friends, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely revisit if travelling to that area in the future. The host made checking in and out extremely relaxing and simple

Keith2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Lisa's place is truly beautiful; the perfect, quiet spot for a comfortable and memorable family gathering. We enjoyed the garden & BBQ, the view of the South Downs and the fresh air, birds and stars. The house is extremely well equipped and lovingly decorated; the kitchen is fantastic, comfortable beds, good showers, everything you could need and more. The lounge and fire place are so inviting and we really felt at home there. The area has beautiful, interesting walks and plenty of cosy pubs. Lisa left tips and info for us and all our communication was quick&easy and friendly. Thanks Lisa for sharing your wonderful place with us!

angela2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Lovely location, nice living space, really quirky house.

tonia2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

What an amazing place to stay right in the heart of the South Downs. Lisa had made such an amazing effort to make sure our stay was just right, from helping with taxi numbers to the bottle of wine we found in the fridge 'to help get our weekend started'. You'd be crazy not to book Lisa's beautiful home if you're looking at staying in this area. Beautiful house, beautiful surroundings, wonderful host - what are you waiting for!?

Samuel2015-06-29T00:00:00Z

Lovely property with good facilities in a very pretty rural location. Two great bedrooms and a quaint caravan. Very comfy living area and nice outdoor space. Would happily stay again. Thanks, Tom & Friends

Tom2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Lovely family house. Felt like home from home. My daughter loved the caravan, and we couldn't get her out of the garden. We couldn't have wanted for anything more. Thanks Lisa!

Sally2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Lisa's lovely house. Beautiful location with great walks and pubs. The house itself was comfortable, really nicely furnished with a well-stocked kitchen. The extra bedroom in the caravan was great and really comfy. Having the two showers was also handy for a group of friends. Lisa was really helpful about stuff to do in the local area. We had a great walk on the South Downs and yummy pub food. Overall, fantastic!

Martin2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

Lisa was very welcoming, friendly and flexible. We felt very relaxed at her countryside home and would only wish for more time there!

The Dairy is a beautiful, traditionally restored, self-catering cottage in the curtilage of Streat Place Barn, built in 1600. Situated in Streat village guests have access to a private walled garden overlooking the South Downs. Fabulous walking area.

The Dairy is a thick slice of real rural peace and quiet, comfy, cosy and wonderfully private. It's perfectly situated, within a short taxi ride from a train station but seemingly in the middle of nowhere: from the gate, hedge-lined paths lead in any direction you fancy following, under wide skies surrounded with birdsong. Inside is beautifully designed with care an flair: a large rustic living space with a designer kitchen, a modern bathroom and a homely bedroom tucked at the back of the property. Everything is brand new, works perfectly and is sparkling clean. Outside, the complex of beautiful buildings that surround it bring a sense of history but don't detract from the privacy at all. And all within an hour of Clapham Junction! Paradise.

Charlie2015-11-24T00:00:00Z

The Dairy was a fantastic cottage, quiet and comfortable. It has a very restful ambiance, where much attention has been paid to the tasteful decoration as well as to all of the amenities. Jinks is a most gracious host who lives in the main house and who met us upon our arrival, with a tour of the cottage and full explanations. There were fresh eggs, milk, a bowl of fresh fruit and cookies provided for us. The location of the cottage was exactly what we needed, situated in the countryside, but with easy access to Ditchling, Brighton, the South Downs and beyond.

Len2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

A beautifully converted old dairy in stunning countryside. We were there in warm sunny weather and the dairy stayed cool inside. There's a beautiful green garden to relax in. And, wonder of wonders, a lovely little kitchen area with lots of pots and pans and cooking utensils. Next time we stay we won't have to bring anything like as much cooking equipment. Jinks was the perfect host.

Chris2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay. The cottage is lovely and full of character, and the surrounding scenery is just beautiful with footpaths almost from the front door. Very easy to do without a car as it's only a 30 minute walk from Plumpton station. Jinks and her husband made us feel very welcome.

Peaceful and rural with views to the Downs, only a short drive to the medieval Lewes market town. Lots of nearby walks and country pubs to eat at. Brighton is 30 minutes by car or 10 mins from Lewes station. The Ashdown forest is 15 mins North. Short lets available .

A wonderful house in a very quiet area, it was perfect for a relaxing peaceful break. Mitsy is very cute and friendly, we were sad to say goodbye. All was exactly as described, would highly recommend.

Ben2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Lynne was very responsive and the house was exactly as described. Beautiful setting.

Adelle2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time staying here, it was very peaceful and relaxing with nice views and garden. Lynne was very accommodating and the cat was adorable :)

kymberlee2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Lynne was really helpful and provided additional bedding and gave us an hour extra on request . The key drop worked well and the house was really sweet with some really nice stuff in it including fab indian (I think) mirror in the living room. You need to like cats since she/he is after attention a lot but never bothered us but if it does close the downstairs living room door otherwise you may get bothered in the morning. Garden was great and was really quiet on a private estate but with access to some great country rides for a bike ride in the morning. Really enjoyed it.

Jonathan2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Very nice place to stay. Everything was great!

Richard2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Olivia2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

The house and garden were lovely and we really enjoyed sitting outside with the adorable cat and enjoying the summer evening! Bed was very comfy too, had a very good nights sleep!

Anna2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Lovely home. Convenient for beautiful country walks. Would recommend. The booking enquiry was made very near the arrival day and we kept changing our predicted arrival time and were eventually quite late, so the hosts were very patient and even took extra time to describe the local area and advise on nice local walks, which was very considerate. The cat was lovely and didn't bother us at all.

Perfect for family get-togethers or weekend breaks, guests love the peace and natural surroundings here. Set in a tiny hamlet away from traffic/noise, with fabulous downland views, this detached 4-bedroom Victorian cottage is surrounded by its own spacious gardens. You'll feel at the heart of downland Sussex here. Great walking / cycling too, right from the cottage gate!

Maintained and equipped to high rental standard but with family-home comforts, this spacious detached cottage combines authentic character with comfort and practicality. There are two double bedrooms, and two single bedrooms, large family bathroom with bath and shower over, plus a large downstairs cloakroom. On the ground floor, the sitting room with open fireplace, dining area, kitchen, hallway and utility room provide ample space for family living. From the dining area, doors lead onto the southfacing terrace (great for sunbathing and outdoor eating), and spacious gardens with arguably some of the best views in the county.

Set on an ancient ridge, in tiny hamlet a couple of miles from Ditchling, the cottage is ideal for short breaks and longer stays, for couples and families. This is exactly where Roland Emett built his famous flying car 'ChittyChittyBangBang' (in the old forge next door), and where Raymond Briggs envisaged his 'Snowman' flights. Footpaths and cycle tracks lead in all directions right from the cottage gate, and there is easy walking to the South Downs Way. A number of charming foodie pubs are within 30 mins walk. This area is at the heart of Sussex wine country, and local vineyards offer a number of winery/vineyard tours. Lewes and Brighton are both within 30 mins drive. For younger visitors, there is much to do too, and details of local activities are at the cottage.

The view, when you walk through the house, is even better than you thought it would be. We had the hottest days in years while there and the shady places under the trees, yet still with the view, were lovely. Walking straight out to the wonderful fields and walks was perfect for the dogs. The house has such character and its really nice that its been retained and not stripped out for the sake of being ultra modern. What has been updated is done totally within keeping. Everything you need is there and with extra touches that are well thought out. Beds comfortable, linen clean and fresh, everything clean and tidy. It was tough to leave and would love to return.

Lara2017-06-21T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful home in a stunning setting. Perfect for walks and bike rides yet easy access to Brighton and Lewes. Welcoming and helpful host with plenty of information given. Thank you Eve for making sure our stay was perfect. Those views are unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Our Victorian home is a large semi just outside the beautiful town of Lewes. We are surrounded by the South Downs and have views in all directions. Our home is our haven and is a wonderful place to hang out, set off from and generally enjoy.

We have 5 bedrooms. The en-suite bedroom is generally for our guests but we have an extra double room that can be used if families need more rooms (on application). All the rooms are in very good order. We are mad keen on photography and many of the rooms are adorned with some beautiful original pieces from a number of celebrated artists. The house is quite eclectic but hopefully to most people's liking.

The Rainbow pub is a few minute's walk away and is one of many great local hostelries to enjoy a fabulous pint of Harvey's or a tasty supper. Many people come to Lewes to enjoy the town and the surrounding countryside. The South Downs are simply incredible for walking or cycling. An amazing stopover for a few days.

We were made to feel very welcome. Laurie and Wendy were incredibly warm and friendly. We had an amazing breakfast and enjoyed our stay.

Katrina2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Laurie and Wendy are very kind and helpful. Their home is warm and friendly, decorated with taste. Highly recommended!

Pierre2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Laurie and Wendy's house is beautifully decorated and feels like a warm and welcoming second home the moment you step inside. The bedroom/bathroom are exactly as described and photographed. We had a fantastic stay with our hosts who made us feel like friends and not like paying guests. When it looked like rain Laurie handed us his beloved umbrella (which we promptly lost) and blankets for our Glyndebourne picnic. He cooked a fantastic breakfast in the morning (that we didn’t know was included in the listing!). We had great conversations and will surely come back if only they will have us! Thank you!

soenje2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Laurie is a great host, always going the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. Very recommended and also conveniently close to Lewes and Brighton albeit very quiet at the same time.

Niccolò2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Louise2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Our experience was great overall, Laurie and his wife were perfect hosts, welcoming on arrival, looking after every detail to make our stay was very comfortable including all amenities in our room/bathroom which we enjoyed very much. They were always available and happy to give advise for local places and activities. Amazing breakfast every morning which made a big difference, and much appreciated when you are away from home. We are very thankful for all the attentions they had with us and our little toddler, she also had a blast! and absolutely loved their cat. We highly recommend this place to stay.

Miguel2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

We have stayed at Laurie and Wendy's place two years in a row, and made it our base for Glyndebourne. We love it; and we'll be back! The house is beautifully decorated, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms are really really clean, and Laurie and Wendy are fantastic hosts. We had a delicious breakfast in their garden, great conversation. Go stay with them!

soenje2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

A very nice step in Lewes in a warm house. We had the impression to be invited in friends and not be customers. Breakfast was excellent. We have not had the chance to meet her husband but Laurie was perfectly looked after us and his daughter was very friendly. We highly recommend!

Situated on the edge of the South Downs National Park in stunning rural countryside, this stylishly converted wing of a 17th century flint steading, is perfectly situated for Lewes, Glyndebourne, Brighton and surrounding countryside / coastal attractions.

Coombe Place is a rural idyll set amongst the rolling foothills of the South Downs, beautifully quiet, but ideally placed for easy access to surrounding towns, cities and the many local attraction.

A fabulous setting with gorgeous views across rolling hills. Very peaceful escape yet 5 minute drive to Lewes. Gorgeous apartment. Lovely White Company bedding and all very clean and beautifully done. Loved the aga and copper kettle. Had all we needed including a BBQ. Highly recommend staying here.

You'll love Springles Barn because of the location, outdoor space and the ambiance. A great place for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and furry friends (DOGS ARE WELCOME!).
The location suits people wanting to explore the Southdowns and we are also about 15 mins from Glyndebourne and the Amex football Stadium. Lewes Bonfire is a must for at least once in your life and Lewes itself is a pretty place to explore.
There are some lovely country pubs offering delicious food.

A large, bright, spacious with high ceilings in keeping with living in a barn. As with our other room (The Stable Room), The Dairy Room has a bespoke en-suite bathroom.

We are situated in a rural location with a handful of neighbours. It is very peaceful. There are a number of lovely country pubs offering great food but you will need to drive to them.
This is an ideal spot if you enjoy cycling and walking.
Glyndebourne is a 15 min drive and I can offer lifts to the Opera with prior arrangement at a nominal cost.

Can't recommend Springles Barn highly enough. Claire made us so welcome and saw to our every need. The Dairy Room is of five star hotel quality. Really comfortable bed. The ensuite ; so contemporary in an 18th century setting.

DAVID2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

First of all, Claire is an absolute diamond. Super kind and considerate - especially when it came to sourcing allergen-free ingredients for my girlfriend for breakfast (which was delicious 5-star quality). She was also extremely helpful with arranging both a little anniversary surprise, and transport to our friends' wedding. We also loved hanging out with Claire and her dog Foxy before leaving the next day. Second of all, Claire's place is 5-star-hotel-level gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice. So much attention to detail. The bed, pillows, towels - all sumptuously perfect - the bathroom with stunning polished stone floor and wooden beams, the mood lighting, the kitchen with Aga stove, the lush green setting outside - we didn't want to leave. In short: fantastically good value, lovely host, beautiful place - would definitely recommend!

Homestead is situated in a very pretty lane in the centre of the beautiful village of Ditchling.
This ancient village nestles under the South Downs being part of the National Park.
Excellent position for country walks, two character pubs within 5 minutes walk and easy access to Brighton and Lewes (8 miles) and London 55 minutes by train.

Homestead was built in 1906 and has many original features.
The cottage has three floors. On the first floor it is possible to put an extra single bed in the double bedroom, on request. There is a large bathroom/shower room on this floor.
On the second floor there is another good-sized bedroom with a king size bed and ensuite bathroom.

Melanie's house is lovely, very comfortable with a warm sunny south facing garden. We were made to feel very welcome. Ditchling is a great location for visiting the South Downs, the coast, Brighton or the many houses and gardens of Sussex. Parking on the lane outside is easy, as was finding the house.

House is situated in the stunning village of Ditchling, with the South Downs right on the door step. Nearest train station is Hassocks, 2 miles away, with Brighton 15 mins away by car.

This is a very quite area, so loud noise wouldn't go down well, but i insist you have a good stay.

Lovely little place in Ditchling. Carl could not have been more accommodating: friendly, helpful and easy going. The room is a good size, clean and thebed is very comfortable with lovely soft linen. Everything you need for a short break in the stunning Sussex countryside!

We were given a very warm welcome with a cup of tea and the room was very comfortable. Our bikes were locked securely in the bike shed overnight. We had a good meal in the pub which is very close and Julie served a delicious breakfast on the patio in the morning. We would have happily stayed longer and we would recommend Julie's place to all!

A beautiful Grade 2 Listed cottage within the strict boundaries of The South Downs National Park. Close to Brighton, Lewes, Glyndebourne and Sussex Universities. 0ak beams and doors and wooden floors. Lots of character with little patio and a few steps from the village pubs and cafes. Lovely village pond and Church and Ditchling museum. Ideal for walkers and cyclists or just take a picnic up to The Beacon and watch the sun go down !

There are 2 double bedrooms upstairs - one room having a super king size bed and overlooking the main High Street (expect some traffic noise during peak times), and the other having a king size bed overlooking the patio. Both beds are new and super comfy they can be divided each into 2 single beds. (Ideal if 4 single friends - or 6 if using double sofa bed) If a comfy bed and spacious bedroom are important - this will suit you !
The lounge is cosy and looks onto The High Street. (Traffic noise during day) It has a new comfy leather sofa plus a sofa bed (please advice if 5 /6people staying) The floor is wooden parquet and a beautiful ingolnook fireplace and original oak beamed ceiling. There is a new 'smart TV' and fast Wifi., which is very handy in Ditchling as the mobile phone reception is very poor. There is also a table which can seat 4.
The kitchen is separate and well equipped - with oven, microwave, toaster, coffee making facilities, washing machine and a large fridge freezer. It overlooks the secluded rear patio. There is an area between the kitchen and bathroom where coats and boots can be stored there is a stable door onto the patio.
The bathroom has recently been refurbished, having a full length enamel bath with a powerful shower above.
There is a secluded patio with tables and chairs.
A stones throw from the award winning pub and restaurant'The Bull'

Ditchling is a beautiful sussex village, within boundaries of South Downs National Park, being at the foot of The Downs close to Brighton, London and Lewes. It is full of charm and character.
It is a stones throw from The Bull Hotel, and the Village cafes and deli, Church and pond. It is on the High Street, which has the advantage of being lovely and central and picturesque but expect traffic noice at peak times during the day .
It is an ideal location for visiting Brighton and the Universities. Also Lewes and Glyndbourne. It is great for walkers and cyclist alike.
Please be aware that Ditchling does have a poor mobile phone signal! Although there is internet at the house. (A must for keeping in touch!)

Michelle was incredibly welcoming, and made us feel completely at home in her lovely cottage. The house had everything we needed, and is very convenient for the pub and shops. We were there for a wedding, but it's also right next to the South Downs, so a brilliant place to use as a base to explore.

John2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

Ditchling and the surrounding countryside are a delight, and this beautiful cottage in the village's busy High Street is the perfect base for long walks and an ideal country break!

William2017-01-04T00:00:00Z

Michelle's cottage is small and quaint and set in a very picturesque village. Close to a good pub and several little shops. The cottage is on a main road and we were told there can be traffic noise at times but we didnt find this a problem. Thanks Michelle for being such a helpful host.

Fiona2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Lovely welcome & clear instructions from host on how to access property. Ideal location for easy access to Ditchling village.

Sharon2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

Lovely cosy and clean cottage in the heart of the pretty village, close to shops and pubs. A perfect loactaion for exploring the area and the South Downs. Michelle was an excellent host.

Amelia2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

Lovely stay at Michelle's cottage, excellent communication and allowed us early check-in. Bed huge and very comfortable, cottage a bit chilly in winter!

Emily2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Beautiful historic cottage centrally located in the village. The shortest of strolls will have you in the village pubs with a good pint of real ale in your hand. The cottage is well equipped and the beds comfortable. Easily sleeps 4 adults and is well set up for self catering. The nearest shops are down the road at the local village of Hassock, which also has a train station with regular links to Brighton or London. Would recommend to anyone who wants to visit East Sussex!

Rhys2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Quaint and convenient! Host communication was excellent and place was clean and charming. If you have anyone tall in your party please remind them of the age of this lovely house and the low height of ceilings. Would stay again and recommend!

Laurie and her husband were great hosts. They were very friendly and welcoming. The photos on the website do not do justice to the house itself, which is beautiful. The room was very clean with incredible views over the South Downs and had a nice en suite. Highly recommended.

Jonathan2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We loved every minute staying in this beautiful home! We felt extremely welcome and pampered. The room is decorated so luxuriously (we have now ordered the same cushions and throw for our house!), fresh fruit, iced water and breakfast in the garden - just perfect. Thank you so much, Katy and Chris x

18th Century cottage situated at the foot of the South Downs National Park. Access to South Downs Way across the road.Double bedroom for couples. Private lounge, Wi Fi , shared shower (website hidden). Dog friendly (one allowed). Cooksbridge Rail connection to London Victoria -3/4m.

This is a genuine 18th Century Cottage but with 21st Century amenities. I provide you with your own space to unwind or prepare for hiking, walking around the South Downs Way, with easy access by rail to London Victoria, Gatwick Airport or even Heathrow. Easy access to Brighton, Lewes or Eastbourne. Lots to do and see. Seaside and evening entertainment in Brighton and we're also ideal for Glyndebourne.

The town is the location of several significant historic buildings, including Lewes Castle, the remains of Lewes Priory, Bull House (the former home of Tom Paine), Southover Grange and public gardens, and a sixteenth-century timber-framed Wealden hall house known as Anne of Cleves House because it was given to her as part of her divorce settlement from Henry VIII, though she never lived there. Anne of Cleves House and the Castle are owned and maintained by the Sussex Archaeological Society (whose headquarters are in Lewes). The Round House, a secluded former windmill in Pipe Passage, was owned by the writer Virginia Woolf.
The steep and cobbled Keere Street is home to many historic buildings, including a timber framed antiquarian bookshop. The gardens of the buildings on the east side of the street border the old Town Walls. The Prince Regent once drove his carriage down the Street, and a sign at the bottom commemorates this event. Good town for foodies, and excellent breakfast cafes and deli's. Plenty of meetings for friends of Bill W. Wild swimming superb in the River Ouse at high water in Piddinghoe, (EMAIL HIDDEN)e and enjoy.

Lovely room, lovely host, lovely location. Very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable indeed and everything was nice l.

Lovely cottage. A bit far from Lewes but if you enjoy walking you'll be fine. The walk there is amazing!Beautiful landscapes.

Julieta2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

It is indeed a cosy little cottage experience Jo provided during our weekend stay. Down to the tiny little details like blueberries with cereals for breakfast and fantastically fragrant hand soap. Her attention to detail was matched by her local knowledge which helped us decide what to do during our time in the countryside. It would have been nice to stay longer and have longer conversations as she is clearly a reader with varied interests. Her two dogs helped to make the house feel alive and filled with a friendly spirit. Thanks, Jo, for your welcoming attitude and open mind: it will stay with us in our memories of this trip.

Andreas & Nadiia2016-03-28T00:00:00Z

Jo was a fantastic host. Before we even arrived, she called us the night before to check we knew where we were going, and arranged to meet us in case we couldn't find her. Upon arrival, she came out to help us with our bags and showed us to our room. She was incredibly hospitable, she has fantastic knowledge of the local area and beyond, and was able to recommend the best places to visit and dine at. The bed was very comfortable, it took us a couple of minutes to work the shower out! But overall, we very much enjoyed our stay off the beaten track, and would definitely stay with Jo again.

simon2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

Jo is a very nice, helpful host and we had a very nice chat. Even my dog had a bad day this day. The room was lovely and clean.

Nathalie2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful place to stay and Jo made it all the more better! The room seems bigger than the photograph. Everywhere was very clean. Jo welcomed us from our car and helped us in with our belongings. She also made us breakfast the following morning. There are lovely views from the garden to enjoy. We were made to feel very at home. We would love to return to this cosy cottage.

Layne2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

Just what we needed for a short break near Lewes. We were very happy staying here in this charming cottage and so was our doggy Thisbé. If she was internet savvy she would give 5 stars I'm sure. ☺️
